SAP GRC – SOD Risk Management

Why SoD Matters:

SoD minimizes fraud and errors by dividing responsibilities across individuals, ensuring no single person controls an entire process. Effective SoD management strengthens security, ensures compliance, and fosters robust internal controls.

Key Stakeholders in SoD Risk Management:

• 1) Business Process Owners: Identify risks, approve access assignments, and ensure compliance.
• 2) Senior Officers: Approve risks and mitigation controls.
• 3) Security Administrators: Manage GRC tools, design rules, and resolve conflicts.
• 4) Auditors: Conduct assessments and ensure compliance.
• 5) SoD Rule Keeper: Maintain GRC configuration and enforce rule integrity.

Our Approach:

• 1) Identify Risks: Recognize potential fraud and errors.
• 2) Rule Creation: Build rule sets to analyze roles and user access.
• 3) Risk Analysis: Leverage SAP GRC's "Access Risk Analysis" tool.
• 4) Remediation: Reassign roles or modify access to resolve conflicts.
• 5) Mitigation: Assign and monitor controls where conflicts cannot be removed.
• 6) Access Review: Analyze risks before granting access.
• 7) Simulation: Run simulations to ensure conflict-free modifications.

SoD isn't just about compliance—it's a vital safeguard for operational integrity, regulatory adherence, and fraud prevention. A proactive approach to SoD ensures seamless, secure operations within SAP GRC systems.
